Saturday, January 25, 2014
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - You cannot see, smell or taste it, but radon could be present in dangerous levels in your home, which is why Missourians are urged to pick up a free testing kit this month. Ryan Hobart, Missouri Department of Health spokesman, said the naturally occurring gas is excreted from the soil and can rise up and get trapped in homes, schools, and businesses - with potentially deadly consequences.
